Day 28 Since Sleeved And 1 1/2 Stall...discouraged



Recommended Posts

I'm so frustrated and discouraged. My hubby said this probably wouldn't work and I'm starting to believe him. I drink 60 ounces of crystal light Water, 60 ounces of Protein and walking 45 minutes a day. I've been 244 now for 1 1/2 weeks. I haven't measure yet because I don't have a tape measure... ugh!

They say there is a three week or four week stall. Just keep doing what your doing! Your body is adjusting...And thank hubby for all his support...sorry that was sarcasm...Believe in yourself! This WILL work!!!!

I'm really trying, but I guess I just thought I would lose 1 pound in 1 week, but nothing. I'm trying not to cry and be upset, but I am.

Check the forms for 3 week stall. You are not alone. Many go through this. It can happen and most likely will to everyone at some point. I'm 3 months post op and have just hit my first stall. No a pound lost all last week :( Keep doing what your doing and you'll come outta it. If you look for a thread called Attention this is a public notice about stalls you'll find good info on there. Hope this helps. Good luck :)

I was 3 wks yesterday. Just got out of a stall that I had been in for 11 days. Stalls will come and go. Stick to ur diet plan. Ur body is going through shock and when u changes textures it shocks it again. Stay strong! Its a long process not an instant fix. My SIL is 6 mos out and just now at 53 lbs down. Ppl will loose weight at different stages. No one is identical.

Don't be discouraged, you had major surgery and on top of that, you drastically changed your nutritional and caloric intake. Your body at some point, as mentioned, usually around the third or fourth week, is going to say, whoa, what is going on here? I need to take a break, slow down, regulate myself and get adjusted to all of these changes. It's okay, that doesn't mean your period of weight loss is over. I promise, just keep following your surgeons eating plan and the weight will start coming off again. In the meantime, don't forget to take your measurements. There will be times when changes aren't reflected on the scale, but are reflected in loss of inches.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
